At CreativeWorks, we’re always on the lookout for fresh perspectives that can ignite progress – not just for us, but for the incredible business owners we work with every day. And recently, one book truly resonated with us, shifting our thinking in profound ways: Mel Robbins’ “The Let Them Theory.”
While primarily a guide for personal empowerment, we found ourselves drawing powerful parallels between its core message and the often daunting world of marketing. We were so inspired, in fact, that we simply had to share our thoughts with you.
The “Let Them Theory” in a Nutshell
If you haven’t read it, “The Let Them Theory” is a liberating concept. It’s about releasing yourself from the burden of what other people think, say, or do, and instead focusing intently on what you can control: your own actions, your own beliefs, and your own path. It’s about saying, “Let them judge. Let them doubt. Let them whisper. I’m going to focus on me.”
Now, imagine applying that same fierce focus and unwavering self-belief to your marketing efforts.
How “Let Them” Can Revolutionize Your Marketing Approach
1. Let Them Doubt Your Ideas – You Launch Anyway.
How many brilliant marketing ideas have been stifled by fear? Fear of judgment, fear of failure, fear that “it won’t work.” The “Let Them Theory” urges you to push past this.
- Your takeaway: Stop waiting for perfect approval or validation. That competitor who scoffs at your new campaign? That friend who doesn’t “get” your niche? Let them doubt. Your job is to believe in your vision, test your ideas, and launch. The market will tell you what works, not someone else’s skepticism.
2. Let Them Stick to the Old Ways – You Innovate.
The business world is constantly evolving, and so too should your marketing. Yet, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut, doing what’s always been done because it feels safe, or because “everyone else does it this way.”
- Your takeaway: Don’t be afraid to stand out. If your competitors are all doing X, consider doing Y. If an old marketing tactic isn’t delivering, let them stick to the old ways. You have the freedom to experiment with new platforms, fresh messaging, and innovative strategies that resonate with your audience. Be the trendsetter, not the follower.
3. Let Them Bring the Drama – You Focus on Your Customers.
Marketing can sometimes feel like a whirlwind of noise: industry gossip, competitor antics, fleeting trends. It’s easy to get distracted by things that drain your energy without moving the needle on your business goals.
- Your takeaway: Direct your precious time and energy where it truly matters: on understanding, serving, and delighting your customers. If there’s industry drama or competitive noise, let them bring the drama. Your focus should be on building genuine connections, solving problems for your audience, and creating value that makes them choose you.
4. Let Them Criticize Your Growth – You Keep Scaling.
As you start to gain traction, new challenges (and even criticisms) can emerge. People might question your rapid expansion, your bold moves, or your increased visibility.
- Your takeaway: Growth often invites scrutiny. Don’t let external opinions or unconstructive criticism derail your momentum. If people are talking, you’re doing something right. Let them criticize your growth. Keep your eyes on your vision, learn from feedback that serves you, and continue to scale your efforts with confidence.
It’s Time to “Let You” Shine
Your marketing efforts are a direct reflection of your business’s potential. By adopting a “Let Them” mindset, you empower yourself to:
- Take Action: Overcome analysis paralysis and actually start those marketing initiatives you’ve been dreaming about.
- Be Authentic: Create marketing that truly reflects your brand’s unique voice and values, rather than trying to fit someone else’s mold.
- Stay Focused: Direct your energy towards strategies that yield real results for your business.
- Embrace Experimentation: See every marketing attempt, successful or not, as a valuable learning opportunity.
Just as “The Let Them Theory” helps individuals reclaim their power, applying its principles to your marketing can help you reclaim your business’s growth trajectory.
